Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger-Chapter 291: Playing with Fire

Chapter 291: Playing with Fire

“Meow meow~ （Big Brother, you were so awesome just now! You took that long-haired orange cat down in just a few moves. ）” Just as Li Li’s clone was sighing in admiration, the pig-nosed white cat walked over, eyes full of adoration.

Big Brother really lived up to his name. With just a single slap, he sent that long-haired orange flying, completely disoriented.

“Meow meow~ （Of course! Dealing with him is like child’s play for me. If I didn’t give him a good smack, he wouldn’t even know his own name! ）” Li Li’s clone puffed up with pride upon hearing this. He then looked at the pig-nosed white cat and asked, “Meow meow~ （By the way, why were you hiding in that little room just now? Did that long-haired orange cat beat you up?”

After all, the bakery was the territory he had assigned to the pig-nosed cat. Why did he cower in the little room? This wouldn’t do. Li Li was starting to doubt his ability to protect this territory.

Upon hearing this, the pig-nosed white cat immediately shook his head and said,

“Meow meow~ （Of course not! I was just about to arm-wrestle with that guy and show him what I’m made of. But then the shop assistant lady stopped me. Otherwise, why would I have waited for you, Big Brother? ）”

He was about to have a grand showdown with the long-haired orange cat, a battle lasting three hundred rounds, to show him his true power. But then the shop assistant lady intervened. Otherwise, he would have taken care of that orange cat himself. Why would it have been so troublesome that he needed Big Brother’s help?

“Meow meow~ （So that’s how it is. I was wondering why you didn’t make a move. It turns out you were stopped. ）” Li Li’s clone nodded in understanding. If he was stopped, then there was nothing he could do.

“Meow meow~ （Yes. ）” The pig-nosed white cat nodded and then looked at Li Li with curiosity in his eyes. “Meow meow~ （Your claws were so amazing when you dealt with him just now, Big Brother. Can you teach me how to make my claws fast and fierce? ）”

That claw strike was so fast and accurate, and the sound so crisp. He was filled with envy. If he could master such a powerful slap, he would have sent that orange cat flying long ago.

“Meow meow~ （It’s very simple. I’ll teach you a little, and you’ll get it. ）” Li Li’s clone said, raising his paw to show the pig-nosed white cat what to do.

When the shop assistant lady returned, she saw this scene: a tabby cat raising its paw and swatting at the air, while a white cat next to it was mimicking the action, looking quite comical.

“What are you two doing? You look so silly. ” The shop assistant lady couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Meow meow~ （This is not silly at all. I’m learning real skills. Don’t be jealous, lady. ）” The pig-nosed white cat replied. Once he mastered these skills, she would know that he wasn’t silly at all but very smart.

“Meow meow~ （That’s right. Learn my Cat-Cat Fist, and you’ll benefit from it for the rest of your life. You’ll never have to worry about being bullied again. ）” Li Li’s clone nodded in agreement.

“You two have fun. I have to get back to work. I won’t play with you anymore. ” Seeing the two cats staring at her, the shop assistant lady couldn’t help but laugh.

“Meow meow~ （Go ahead and get back to work, lady. We’ll continue practicing. ）” Li Li’s clone said and started practicing claw strikes with the pig-nosed white cat.

“Is Fatty Li practicing window cleaning? Why are his movements so strange?” the pastry chef asked curiously as he returned with a cake.

What were these two little guys doing here? Why were they swatting at the air as soon as he arrived?

“Maybe they’re practicing their claw strikes,” the shop assistant lady replied with a smile.

“Really? That’s quite funny.” The pastry chef said and sat down with interest, watching the scene.

The two cats practicing didn’t pay any attention to him and continued with their training.

“Fatty Li, why are you here? I thought you were at the shop by the entrance?” A student who was returning from outside exclaimed in surprise when he saw Li Li’s clone sitting by the canteen entrance with a “feed me” look on his face.

He clearly remembered that Fatty Li was not here but at the bakery. Why was he back even faster than him?

“Meow meow~ （Because you’re not seeing the real me. ）” The clone muttered. Seeing a girl coming out, he immediately went up to her and used his killer move: acting cute and cuddly.

“Wow! Fatty Li, you’re so adorable. How can you be so cute? You’re making it hard for me not to give you something to eat.” The girl said in a conflicted tone, but her hand was quick to pet Li Li’s head.

“Meow meow~ （Just hand over the food. I know you’re secretly willing to give it to me. ）” Li Li said, staring intently at her bag where he saw delicious food. He knew she would be willing to share.

And indeed, after petting him for a while, she felt bad about not leaving him anything. So, she gave Li Li a big chicken drumstick.

“Meow meow~ （As expected, if you want good food, you have to look for pretty girls. ）” Li Li muttered, having secured the chicken drumstick. He then glanced at the guy standing nearby with disdain in his eyes. If he wasn’t going to offer any food, could he please not interrupt him? He was very busy right now.

“Uh, am I being looked down upon?” The boy couldn’t help but laugh wryly, seeing this scene. He was actually being despised by a cat? It sounded so absurd.

“Meow meow~ （Yes, if you’re not going to give me food, don’t get in my way of making money, okay? ）” Li Li mumbled as he gnawed on the chicken drumstick. He patted the guy’s shoes, urging him to move away and not interrupt his meal.

“Alright, you greedy cat. You’re so materialistic. No food for you, and you start chasing people away.” The boy couldn’t help but say as he took a few steps back.

“Meow meow~ （Good that you know. Now scram and don’t disturb my work. ）” Li Li said impatiently. Seeing someone else coming out with food, he immediately ran towards them.

“This greedy cat.” The boy shook his head, then turned and left.

He wouldn’t even think about buying food for this bad cat. Not a chance.

“Meow meow~ （That guy didn’t buy me food and pet me fiercely to get back at me? How strange. Have my tricks become outdated? ）” The clone muttered to himself, unable to understand when these guys had become so clever.

“We have a general understanding of your strength. You are truly outstanding. To be honest, besides sharing some combat experience, we can’t guide you much further.”

“If you want to become stronger, you need to practice more. There’s no other way.”

Hu Xiong and the others said to A Liang. To achieve this level of skill in a world where martial arts weren’t as prosperous was a testament to his talent and perseverance.

Given time, it was only a matter of time before he reached their level.

“Thank you for your guidance, Masters. I will work hard.” A Liang said earnestly.

“Good, go and practice.” Hu Xiong and the others waved their hands. A Liang then went to practice his fist techniques.

They then discussed amongst themselves:

“I wonder what’s going on at the Great Tomb. Has it been resolved? It’s safe to stay here, but I’m afraid our families will be worried if we stay too long.”

“Yes, I’m worried about that too. But if we go back now, we’ll surely run into people from the major sects.”

“That’s right, and then we’ll have a hard time explaining ourselves.”

“So, let’s wait a while longer. Why are you all in such a hurry? We have food and drink here, and there’s nothing to do. Isn’t it better than rushing into danger?” Li Li’s clone interjected as he jumped onto the table beside them.

“You’re right, but we don’t belong here.”

“That’s right, Captain Cat.” The group greeted Li Li’s clone.

“How about we send someone to check out the situation first? If things aren’t right, they can come back quickly,” Li Li’s clone suggested.

“That’s a good idea. Then, Brother Hu, would you mind scouting ahead?”

“Yes, Brother Hu is the number one rogue cultivator. With him taking the lead, it’s sure to be safe.”

“Right, Brother Hu.” Everyone looked at Hu Xiong.

Hu Xiong felt a chill down his spine.

“Uh, but going there would be like going to my death. Don’t forget that our sudden disappearance and the deaths of so many people will surely attract more than just Martial Venerable experts. There might even be Martial Emperor experts. Wouldn’t I be walking into a trap if I went alone?” Hu Xiong argued, then added, “Unless Captain Cat goes with me, I’m sure to die.”

“Meow meow, why am I being dragged into this?” Li Li’s clone was stunned. “You’re the one who wants to go home, not me. Why should I risk my neck for you? This wasn’t part of our agreement. You’ll have to pay extra for this.”

Everyone immediately chimed in,

“No problem, we’ll cover the cost. As long as Captain Cat is willing to help.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Since you all insist, I have no reason to refuse.” Li Li’s clone agreed and looked at Hu Xiong. “That’s your world. Shouldn’t you go back with me? How am I supposed to find my way back alone?”

He was fine with being pulled into this, but Hu Xiong wouldn’t get off so easily.

“Uh, then I’ll go with you, Captain Cat. But please promise to protect me.” Hu Xiong’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t refuse in the end.

“Of course, I’m confident I can do that. Don’t worry.” Li Li’s clone said with a smile and then looked at the others. “Shouldn’t you pay me first?”

“Oh, right.” Hearing this, they took out boxes filled with medicinal herbs and gave them to Li Li. After receiving the payment, Li Li said with satisfaction, “No problem, we can go now.”

“Okay.” Hu Xiong nodded and transformed into a ray of light with Li Li, disappearing from the living room.

“Rustle”

“Rustle”

Meanwhile, in a vast mountain range, two figures quietly appeared. It was Hu Xiong and Li Li.

“It seems the Great Tomb has disappeared. Look, we didn’t appear inside this time.” Li Li’s clone looked around and said. He thought there would be many people gathered here, but it seemed he was overthinking it.

“Yes, but we still need to investigate further to be sure.” Hu Xiong nodded and carried Li Li as he flew towards the distance.

He still didn’t know the current situation and needed to find someone to ask. freewebnσvel.cøm

“Brother Hu, I’m not a pagoda. Why are you carrying me like this?” Li Li’s clone said weakly. If he wanted to play Li Jing, the Pagoda-Wielding Heavenly King, he should find a pagoda, not carry him like this.

“Sorry, sorry. I thought this way, Captain Cat, you could move faster. I apologize if I offended you.” Hu Xiong quickly apologized. He didn’t want to carry Li Li like this either, but what else could he do if the cat wouldn’t move?

He could only carry him forward this way. At least if they encountered danger, he could use the cat as a shield.

“It’s fine as long as you apologize. Now put me down. Why are you so scared?” Li Li’s clone said in annoyance and jumped down from Hu Xiong’s hands. “I just observed the surroundings. It’s safe here. Those who gathered here should have all gone back.”

“Really? That’s great.” Hu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no one to intercept them, it seemed the matter had completely passed.

“Yes, let’s leave this place first. Don’t stay here too long, or it will still raise suspicions.” Li Li’s clone reminded him.

“Okay.” Hu Xiong nodded and flew outwards quickly. He needed to find out what had happened after they left.

“So this is where you live? It looks so different from the world I live in.” Li Li couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the towering city.

So this was the world where martial artists lived? It was very similar to ancient times, except the city was far larger than anything recorded in history.

This didn’t seem like something ordinary humans could achieve. It seemed martial artists had a hand in it.

“Yes, it’s a bit backward, like the ancient times in your world. But this is where we live.” Hu Xiong said with a smile and placed Li Li on his shoulder. “I might have to wrong you this time, Captain Cat. Otherwise, we’ll be stopped from entering.”

“No problem, just follow the rules of this place.” Li Li’s clone said nonchalantly, holding onto Hu Xiong’s shoulder and looking around curiously.

He had traveled to many different worlds, but this was the first time he had entered a human city.

“Steamed buns! Delicious and sweet monster meat buns! Don’t miss out, folks! These buns are sweet, fragrant, soft, and chewy. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!”

“Brothers, please stop for a moment. Don’t rush on your way, or you’ll miss a great opportunity. See this saber in my hand? It’s sharp enough to cut iron like mud and slice hair with a gentle blow. Only fifty taels of silver! You won’t lose out on this deal!”

“Look here, everyone! This is my ancestral secret manual! It contains the lifelong insights of my grandmaster. If you can comprehend even a fraction of it, you’ll benefit for the rest of your life! Now only ten taels of silver! Don’t miss this chance!”

Walking through the city, both sides of the street were filled with vendors hawking their wares. They shouted and skillfully demonstrated their goods.

Li Li felt like he was at a bustling market. He remembered that markets in his world were like this too.

“What do you think, Captain Cat? My world is quite interesting, right? Although it’s not as bustling as your world, it’s still very lively.”

“It is quite interesting.” Li Li’s clone nodded in agreement. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and his eyes lit up as he looked towards the distance. “It smells so good! What are they cooking over there? We need to gather information anyway, why don’t we grab something to eat first?”

He didn’t know if this world was fun or not, but the aroma was truly enticing. The food must be good.

After all, this world didn’t have any artificial ingredients or processed food.

“Sure, Captain Cat, what would you like to eat?” Hu Xiong said with a smile. It didn’t matter where they gathered information. They might as well have a good meal first.

“The best food, of course. But shouldn’t you be asking me this question? You’re the regular customer here. You should be the one to decide what to eat.” Li Li said, swallowing his saliva.

He didn’t even know what kind of food they had in this world. How could he decide? It was better to listen to Hu Xiong, who must know better.

“Then let’s order everything on the menu first.” Hu Xiong said and walked towards a nearby restaurant.

Li Li was very satisfied. It was worth coming here with Hu Xiong, who was quite considerate.

“Welcome, sir! What would you like to eat?” A waiter in the restaurant greeted Hu Xiong with a smile as he approached.

“Prepare a private room for me, and bring me all your best dishes.” Hu Xiong said with a wave of his hand and walked upstairs.

“Yes, sir! Please wait a moment, I’ll get everything ready.” The waiter beamed, his face practically splitting with a grin.

He quickly called for another waiter to lead them to the room and then rushed to the kitchen. A customer who could spend so much money must be wealthy. If he could make him happy, the money would flow like water.

“Waiter, you’ve been living here for a long time, right? Has anything interesting happened in the city lately?” Hu Xiong asked after they settled in the private room. He casually took out a silver ingot and placed it in front of the waiter who was wiping the table. The waiter’s eyes immediately lit up.

He pocketed the silver and said with a chuckle, “Yes, yes! The most exciting and biggest event in our city recently is the appearance of the Martial Emperor’s Tomb. You wouldn’t believe how many martial artists it attracted.”

Hu Xiong saw that the waiter was about to ramble on and quickly interrupted,

“Really? No wonder I saw so many people here when I arrived. So, who inherited the legacy?”

“What legacy? There’s no legacy at all! The Martial Emperor’s Tomb was a hoax, a trap set by that Martial Emperor for his resurrection. The rogue cultivators and disciples from the major sects who entered this time were extremely unlucky. Not only were many of them killed by the traps he set, but they also didn’t gain anything.” The waiter said, feeling quite fortunate. “Luckily, I have poor talent and didn’t become a martial artist. Otherwise, I would have suffered the same fate.”

“Is that so? Those people are truly unlucky. But if this Martial Emperor dared to do such a thing, didn’t any major sect intervene?” Hu Xiong asked with a smile.

“Of course they did! The Martial Emperor experts from the major Sacred Sects fought fiercely with him. You have no idea how terrifying the scene was.” The waiter said, his face showing fear.

“And what happened in the end? Did they manage to stop him?” Hu Xiong asked with concern.

“Of course not! How could they possibly stop him? He’s not someone to be trifled with.” The waiter shook his head. “I also heard that there was a very powerful monster in the Great Tomb this time. It tricked the tomb owner, forcing him to possess another body for rebirth.”

“Oh? There’s such a powerful monster? Even a Martial Emperor expert was tricked by it?” Hu Xiong looked at Li Li, who was sitting beside him.

“Of course! That monster is incredibly powerful. It’s said to be a terrifying cat demon with the strength of a Martial Venerable.” The waiter pointed at Li Li and said, “It looks similar to the cat you brought, but it must be much stronger.”

“Really? Then it seems my cat has also benefited from this.” Hu Xiong chuckled.

“Of course! After this incident, who would dare to underestimate cats?” The waiter said with a smile.

“Is that so? That’s really something.” Hu Xiong smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Li.
